There's a Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X interview on Student Life talking with Shane Bierwith about the upcoming aerial combat game. The conversation covers the game's more accessible approach than a full flight simulator, but they also discuss ways of achieving a more realistic experience: "There are also settings in the game where you can switch...to expert mode, and it’s more of a realistic, simulator-type experience. I’m not going to say that this is a flight simulator, because that’s not what it is, but if you use a flight stick, if you change the settings to expert mode [and] if you play in the cockpit, all these different elements will definitely give you more of a simulation experience. We don’t want to count out the hard-core guys, because I think they’d love this game as much as newcomers would." Thanks Chris.
